Chapter 491 Experience Difference
Ding Qilin is a smart man. He has been planning to provide support since he sent troops here. Now he is arranged according to Li Jing's method. Will he not know this tactic?
Just give Li Jing a chance,
The leopard cavalry is a tiger and wolf soldier. What they are best at is fighting in complex situations. Fighting in the mountains and forests is not what they are best at. It is also OK if they insist on going into the mountains to fight.
But he didn't want to make things complicated. Since there was a plan, why did he let the brothers take risks? Besides, this just happened to see Li Jing's ability.
The troops withdrew, leaving less than a thousand people searching around. After searching for three days in a row, people on the mountain sent people to observe secretly every day, and the news was brought back to make everyone feel nervous.
"Don't be afraid. If they don't enter the mountain, it means there is no way to deal with us. Let's stay on the mountain and wait for them to leave. We are going down the mountain."
"Yes, let's stay on the mountain. When they come, we will leave. Let's see if they have nothing to get away sooner or later."
"We are familiar with the terrain, and they are always wanted to find us. Don't be afraid that we will go down the mountain and go happily when they leave."
The people on the mountain may not know that the people at the foot of the mountain have long guessed the situation they are facing, and then they will wait for them to fall into the trap.
Three days later, the people sent to the surveillance at the foot of the mountain passed back the good news.
"Haha, those foreign soldiers have no choice but to do anything to us. Let's go down the mountain to have a good time."
"Don't worry, wait a little longer."
"How long have we been waiting? We have been trapped in the mountain for more than half a month, and we have not eaten much. We can't live like this. I have lived enough. Brothers, let's go down the mountain to grab a big family and have a good meal. Is there anyone here?"
"Okay, I haven't eaten anything cooked for many days, I'll go."
Some people on the mountain began to get restless.
"Brothers, don't worry. Wait until those soldiers are gone, just endure for two days."
There are still smart people who can only try their best to persuade them. Generally, some of the ideas are more convinced by everyone. Then the dozens of people who were about to get together were comforted before they settled down.
In the case of the upper and lower levels, the vanguard troops did not withdraw all of them, but left a few teams to wander around. Their purpose was not to patrol but to confuse the enemy.
You can't take people away suddenly, anyone with a little brain will notice something is wrong.
In five days, Ding Qilin and his troops did not leave and all hid. The people outside were sent by Li Jing, and the number of patrols was reduced every day. After another three days, the people on the mountain finally couldn't help but divide into several waves of people down the mountain.
"Li joined the army and the scout came to report that the people on the mountain were divided into six lives and went down the mountain from different directions, with at least seventy people."
"This is a deliberate test. It seems that there are still smart people on the mountain."
Li De thought about it. There were five or six thousand people in the mountains. Sending dozens of people down there was not a test or something. If the people who went down the mountain would definitely bring a lot of food after they went back, they could hold on for a few days even if they were not enough.
If they don’t come out of the mountain, they will have no choice but to do anything to them.
The guard asked, "Will they be arrested?"
"No, let them go back. Our plan is to let these people put aside their guard and all come out of the mountains." Li Jing said.
The personal guards will do it, and he will not bargain with the main general, and all actions must be strictly completed.
Each of the seventy people carried food, which could not solve the food of five thousand people, but under the temptation, they could somewhat relieve their embarrassment.
The purpose of Li Jing not removing all the people was to prevent the enemy from becoming suspicious.
When these people came back, they had already pursued them as good soldiers immediately, but they didn't really catch up with them, so they finally put them on the mountain.
Seeing this, the bandits became more and more courageous. After several times, Li Jing took away everyone.
If you can't catch someone, it's not a solution to waste your time here. One party must give in.
The bandits spent another ten days on the mountain and sent out a lot of people within a few days. They saw that there was no one else but relaxed. When the people who were staying in the mountain learned that the officers and soldiers had withdrawn, they were busy trying to go down the mountain.
"Haha, Zhangshui is still our world. Let's go with me and have fun." After a restless downfall, the bad habits will be revealed immediately.
Many people are used to it. They are all suffocated and dare not make a fire. Otherwise, they will be easily discovered when they are discovered. What they want to do most is to have a good meal.
Maybe their pursuit is just that, drinking and eating meat.
"Go back to our territory first." Someone started organizing.
"Brothers, don't leave first. We can take this opportunity to discuss the joint matter, otherwise it will be a mess of sand scattered everywhere."
When a few copycat brothers who were few in the village heard this, they discussed that the matter was one. They were invited to have wine and meat. Whoever wanted to have a big meal was simply agreed.
Five or six thousand people acted together like this.
"Listen, it seems that there is something going on." Suddenly someone was alert and then lay on the ground and said.
"I saw it, I was trapped, run away quickly." Someone shouted.
They were about to escape, but the leopard cavalry felt that all the soldiers who had long been ambushing around them had come out.
The two sides started a battle as soon as they met.
Li Jing had a cold face at this time. He was not very happy to deal with these mobs at his first stop. He lost his terrain advantage and made it take so long for the vanguard soldiers and other soldiers to be angry.
Today is the time to settle the accounts, how could it be that you have a good face? Take people to take away the enemy's retreat. People have been arranged around the forest, so that the enemy can't escape to the mountain at all.
What's more, this was on the road, and it was not long before a pair of brave cavalry directly divided these people into two.
When Youzhou City sent supplies, the matter of Zhangshui had been resolved. The two sides met on the way back, just when the vanguard soldiers were about to have no food.
Half a month later, Ding Qilin and Li Jing returned to Youzhou City and returned triumphantly. In addition to bringing back victory, they also brought back five thousand labor. Originally, Li Jing meant that he would not keep any of them.
However, Ding Qilin has been with Li De for a long time and has more experience in this kind of thing than Li Jing. Although these are all evildoers, it does not affect giving them a chance to reform.
This opportunity may be ten or twenty years, and it depends on their performance.
"It's good to come back safely. Today I will reward the triumphant soldiers. Let's arrange a banquet first. Later, the Governor's Office." Li De greeted him personally at the door. It was a happy thing to win the battle.
He won, but Li Jing was not in a good mood. After so long dealing with the bandits, he felt sorry for him and felt that he had a burden.
Ding Qilin is not that pretentious. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Besides, the process has some twists and turns, which is good, which is the difference between having experience and not having experience.
